Why We Think It’s Great:
The Louvre is wonderful to visit, but getting tickets, waiting in line, and navigating the museum can be a lot. Consider this skip-the-line tour to organize everything for your visit and guide you through the museum. The Louvre has almost 73,000 square meters of exhibition space, making it the largest museum in the world by size.
It’s also the most visited museum in the world, with approximately 30,000 people going to see the Mona Lisa per day. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any time when the Mona Lisa is entirely free and clear for unobstructed views. However, while many travellers opt for early morning entry, you may be greeted by the Mona Lisa, blocked by only a few dozen other guests as opposed to a hundred or so.
Things to Note:
- This tour skips the ticketing line, but there is still a security check that may have a wait.
- There are bag restrictions of 21.5 in x 13.5 in x 7.5 in for entering the Louvre.
- A valid ID is required for each member of your group.
